Keep going
Here I come
One two [Spoken]
The river is deep and the river is wide
But I’m gonna cross over when I see my ride
‘Cos I got a home on the other side
When the time has come I’ll close my eyes
Shut out that world with all its lies
And I’ll lay me down until I rise
Instrumental
Four [Spoken]
When I awake I’ll see his face
Of this worlds tears there’ll be no trace
He’ll take us to a better place
My dearest friends -little harder- keep up the fight
Resist the darkness and do what’s right
And when you stand up, walk in the light
Go to the bridge, A [Spoken]
This world is filled with sorrow
There’s trouble everywhere
But do not be dismayed
Nor weak and in despair
He knows all that has happened
And what you’re going through
You’re covered in his love
And he won’t let go of you
Speak from your heart and let it shine
And let God’s will be done, not thine
So I can see you once again on down the line
Instrumental
Lot of percussion [Spoken]
The river is deep, ah-wa-ah
The river is wide, wa-wa-wa-wa
I’m gonna cross over, wap-ah-wa-wa
When I see my ride, ah-ba-ba-ba
‘Cos I’ve got a home on the other side, yeah
Speak from your heart and let it shine
And let God’s will be done, not thine
So I can see you once again on down the line
Instrumental, bigger than before, don’t speed up
Drum fill [Spoken]
Doo-bid-e-bap-ba-da
One more instrumental [Spoken]
Rrr-ba-da-ba-pa-ba
Ra-da-ba-ba
Here I come
One two [Spoken]
The river is deep and the river is wide
But I’m gonna cross over when I see my ride
‘Cos I got a home on the other side
When the time has come I’ll close my eyes
Shut out that world with all its lies
And I’ll lay me down until I rise

The river is deep, the river is wide
I’m gonna cross over when I see my ride
‘Cos I got a home on the other side
And when the time comes I’ll close my eyes
And shut out this world with all its lies
I’ll lay me down until I rise
When I awake I’ll see his face
And of this worlds tears there’ll be no trace
An' he’ll take me home to a better place
My dearest friends, keep up the fight
Resist the darkness and do what’s right
And when you stand up, walk in the light

This river is deep
This river is wide
But you're gonna cross over
To the other side
You've got a home
You've got a home on down that line
